Ingredients
- 4 slices thick white bread
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter, letting it melt and foam.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the coated bread slices in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately, optionally with maple syrup, jam, or fresh fruit.
Tips
- Use day-old bread for best texture; it absorbs the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
- Adjust seasoning with a pinch of paprika or cinnamon for variation.
- Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
